A monoline, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a loose, flowing rhythm. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent looped entrances/exits and gently tapered terminals, giving the outlines a pen-drawn feel. Uppercase shapes are simplified and upright-leaning with generous height, while lowercase forms stay compact with small bowls and prominent ascenders/descenders that create a lively vertical texture. Spacing is naturally irregular, and the overall texture reads light and open, with clear, uncrowded counters.
Well suited to short to medium display text where a human, approachable voice is desired, such as boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations and greeting materials, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works best at sizes where the delicate monoline strokes and small internal details remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like neat handwriting used for notes, labels, and friendly messages. Its airy stroke and looping motion feel upbeat and approachable, leaning more whimsical than formal.
Designed to emulate tidy, everyday cursive handwriting with an emphasis on quick, fluid strokes and a light, open texture. The tall proportions and looping forms prioritize charm and personality over strict regularity, supporting expressive display use.
Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with simple, rounded constructions and consistent stroke weight. The sample text shows good flow in word shapes, with connections implied by cursive forms even when letters appear loosely joined.
